French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot spoke with the CEO of Spanish airline Vueling, whose flight removed a group of about 50 Jewish children and teenagers and their summer camp counselor this week, demanding "explanations" about the incident. The French Foreign Ministry stated that "clarifications were requested regarding whether the children were subjected to discrimination related to their religion." The incident occurred on Wednesday in Valencia, Spain, after the children and teenagers, French residents aged 10 to 15, sang songs in Hebrew on the plane.
